When the g/hopper touched the web, it would run soooo fast and had it wrapped in seconds. It made 4 or 5 egg sacs, then would fall off and die.

Lots of spiders this year, went out to my shed the other day and I saw this beetle dangling in a web I then spotted the spider and just couldn't believe how fast he got to that beetle. But unfortunately I realized it was a black widow and I couldn't let it live and get into something where I wouldn't see it and get stung. Will have to bomb the shed this coming weekJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-8961511898639423372017-06-10T12:58:49.021-05:002017-06-10T12:58:49.021-05:00Just make sure that you don't get too friendly...Just make sure that you don't get too friendly with a Brown Recluse.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-7560011505484909042017-06-10T12:57:50.211-05:002017-06-10T12:57:50.211-05:00Oh yes, I have walked into many spider webs, but t...Oh yes, I have walked into many spider webs, but this was different.

They must do their work overnight. I like spiders and if I get one inside my house I scoop it up on a piece of paper and take it outside before it knows what is happening! <br /><br />Good to see you posting again.
